Ionia Sentinel Standard, 5 April 2002

R. Thomas “Tom” Possehn, 70, of Lake Odessa, passed away at his home Wednesday 
afternoon, April 3, 2002.  Tom was born in Portland on February 8, 1932 to 
William and Bertha (Schroeder) Possehn.  He attended Coon School and graduated 
from Ionia High School in 1950.  He worked for GenCorp. in Ionia for 38 years, 
but his true love was farming.

Tom was married to Katherine Fox on February 9, 1952, and they were happy to 
have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  Tom had many favorite things 
in life, but the most important were his family, ice-fishing, dancing, hunting, 
and of course, golfing.

He always loved to take his grandchildren 4-tracking, and had build a special 
box to carry them.  Everything that Tom did, he did with excellence.

He is survived by his loving wife, Katie; his children, Christine (Tom) Wilson 
of Portland, Tom, Jr. (Julie) Possehn of Lake Odessa, Jeanne (Mark) Goosmann of 
Sedalia, CO., Patricia (Jim) Eickhoff of Saranac, Ron (Lori) Possehn of Lake 
Odessa, Cheryl (Scott) Farr of Dimondale; 16 grandchildren; two great-
grandchildren; his brothers, Donald (Marie) Possehn of Lake Odessa and Raymond 
(Marilyn) Possehn of Portland; his sisters, Hulda Sutton of Lake Odessa, Helen 
Godwin of South Lyon, and Lucille (Robert) Heppe of Orleans; and many other 
loving relatives and friends.  Tom was preceded in death by his parents; and 
his brothers, Harold Possehn and Herbert Possehn.

There will be no funeral home visitation.  A private family service will be 
held at Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa.  Burial will be in Sunset Memorial 
Gardens.  Memorial contributions may be made to Ionia County Hospice, Lakewood 
Community Ambulance, or the Ionia Commission on Aging.
